Abstract:A sophisticated comprehension of the impacts of photoisomerization and photothermal phenomena on biogenic and responsive materials can provide a guiding framework for future applications. Herein, the procedure to manufacture homogeneous chitosan‐based smart thin films are reported by incorporating the light‐responsive azobenzene‐derivative Sodium‐4‐[(4‐(2‐(2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)diazen‐yl]‐benzenesulfonate (TEGABS) in the biopolymer through electrostatic interactions. When irradiated with UV‐l… Show more
